Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Install

Install with npm:

npm install node-npmrc-generator --save-dev

or preinstall script

npx --yes node-npmrc-generator@latest

Required params

| Attribute | Description | | --- | --- | | organisations | Array of organisation configs (see below) |

Optional params

| Attribute | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | --npmrc_name | .npmrc | Name of the output file | | --output_path | ./ | Output path, defaults to current directory | | --config_folder_path | ./npmrc-config.json | Config file path | | --email | process.env.EMAIL | Email written into the .npmrc auth block | | --always_auth | false | Emit always-auth=true in the .npmrc | | --url_template | //pkgs.dev.azure.com/$organisation/_packaging/$username/npm/ | Registry URL template. Use $organisation and $username as placeholders | | --settings | {} | Key-value pairs written as prefix lines in the .npmrc. Arrays are expanded to one line per item using the same key. (e.g. {"engine-strict":true,"exclude":["a","b"]}) |

Precedence

Each of email, always_auth, url_template, and password can be set at multiple levels. The most specific value wins:

token item > organisation > global config / CLI arg / ENV

Example config file (npmrc-config.json)

{
  "npmrc_name": ".npmrc",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "always_auth": false,
  "url_template": "//pkgs.dev.azure.com/$organisation/_packaging/$username/npm/",
  "settings": {
    "engine-strict": true,
    "min-release-age": 7,
    "minimum-release-age-exclude[]": ["@scope/package1", "package2"]
  },
  "organisations": [
    {
      "organisation": "my-org",
      "password": "shared-token",
      "token_list": [
        {
          "username": "user1",
          "name": "@scope/package1"
        },
        {
          "username": "user2",
          "name": "@scope/package2",
          "password": "override-token",
          "email": "[email protected]",
          "always_auth": true,
          "url_template": "//myprivate.registry.io/$organisation/$username/npm/"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Usage

npx --yes node-npmrc-generator@latest --organisations=\[{"organisation":"organisation-name"\,"token_list":\[{"username":"username2"\,"password":"password2"\,"name":"@packagename2"}\]\]}

With settings via CLI: npx --yes node-npmrc-generator@latest --settings={"engine-strict":true,"min-release-age":7}

Usage as preinstall script

npx --yes node-npmrc-generator@latest

Best to use ./npmrc-config.json file.
